Jacob deGrom finished off one of the greatest individual pitching seasons in MLB history Wednesday with eight scoreless innings in a 3-0 win against the Braves at Citi Field, during which he yielded only two hits while walking none and striking out 10. It was a fitting end to the 30-year-old right-hander's 2018 campaign, further bolstering his already strong candidacy for the National League Cy Young Award.
Here's what you need to know about deGrom's historic season:
• deGrom finished the year with 32 games started, 217 innings pitched and a 1.70 ERA.
